Project Life | Week Forty-Seven

First up this week I wanted to let you know that Becky invited me to be a part of her Creative Team which is pretty cool. As you can tell, I'm a big fan of this project and am looking forward to continuing to share my layouts here throughout 2012.

I'll be keeping up with Project Life throughout December even as my focus shifts to December Daily. Lots of stories and things to record over the next month - more than enough to keep both projects going.

I should have written something about how crazy I felt at the beginning of the week. Might go back in and add that - it was just a crazy-before Thanksgiving rush.

And yep, it took us 7 hours to drive to our destination (and it usually takes 4.5 - the traffic was insane).

Project Life is a product created by Becky Higgins. It can be anything you want it to be. The pieces used in my album are available here. If you live outside the US check Becky’s site for more information on sources. View all my posts about Project Life here.

thanks for the project life inspiration!! I finally got the photos up of my pl and I've been able to keep up with it for 8 weeks now. You've been perfect inspiration. The only thing I've had issues with is finding stickers to put on photos to be able to date and journal. I've been trying to shop locally, but I may need to check your links online!! Thanks Ali :)

Love seeing a glimpse into your life each week! I bought PL but have fallen off the wagon over time. Love how you journal straight on your pictures and I love Sharpies! I find myself going into Office Depot just buying random colors just to increase my selection! Will that Sharpie Paint not ruin your picture? I will have to grab some of those next time. Happy Holidays to you!!!

Really love all of your PL layouts. Its great that you will be on Becky's team. This has been my first year with PL and I'm planning on doing it again in '12. I plan on doing a weekly recap as you have been doing instead of one picture each day. Thanks for the inspiration.

This was my very first post from you that I received through my email, what an awesome way to start the day! I went on over to Amazon to buy my starter kit so I can start following along! Can't wait for the December daily to begin! Thanks Ali!

Just found this cute little tech printer - perfect for Project Life!!
It is brand new and I know that you Ali and the rest of folks who blog, scrapbook, etc will probably be all over this gadget!!
It is a mini printer that prints out receipt size info like news, posts from blog, twitter updates, etc.

Hi Ali - looks like you all enjoyed a great Thanksgiving (that's what it's all about, right?)! Just wanted to say hi and tell you that I so look forward to seeing your PL each week. I feel sorta funny saying that, since I'm not posting my own and probably won't next year on a consistent basis, but you've helped me see this is totally do-able and I'm so happy I've stuck with the project in 2011. I'm doing a 8.5x11 album with one 9-up page protector each week next year. Making my own week # cards w/the dates. Great way to use on-hand supplies! I found I was most into collecting pieces of paper this year and using my mini instax for photos, so I think this smaller format will be a better fit for me. What I most love is the "equalization" of memories/stories with this format. Looking back, a trip to the grocery story is just as worthy as going to Italy. So cool! Thanks for your inspiration. . .and tomorrow is Dec 1 (I started on Nov 25 and am already a bit behind ;)

I love your project life book and daily album for December. You are so very talented! I would love to try to do the project life book for 2012, but am a BEGINNER. I get a bit overwhelmed when I see your book by the detail and also imagining the cost of all the supplies. I am wondering if you have a BASIC BEGINNER list of what is needed to start. I need a starting point and could use the help. If it is already on your blog somewhere can you point me to it? Sorry to leave this in your comment section, but I would love the help! Thank you!!
